The Australia women’s team placed fifth at the 2018 Asian Women’s Handball Championship in Kumamoto, Japan, which also means successful qualification for the 2019 IHF Women’s World Championship next December.

While the result at the event played from November 30 to December 9 is an outstanding team effort, there were also exceptional individual performances from two Australia players. Sally Potocki finished as the top scorer of the event with 57 goals, while Manon Vernay was the first-ranked goalkeeper with 76 saves at 34.4%.
